- Public test is now the official version! - 22 April 2025
We're launching the public updated changes to the default game, which includes the new rendering and other changes! Since this can present some incompatibilities, if you're experiencing troubles running the new patch, you can go to the game properties on steam, and select the "oldver" to use the previous version for now. We're still working on the next patch, which should include more art and engine changes, and quality of life improvements, and fixing some bugs found in the last public test. Long term, we're working on significant gameplay changes! We're also taking into account your suggestions for other priority features to work on. Thanks for riding!

- Train Frontier Classic Public Test Available Now! - 22 September 2024
Is it true? A new update? We've updated our old engine to a newer gen look! Going max settings might require a higher spec system (farewell xbox 360 specs), but we've also added a few more graphics options to fine tune game performance (try "Render Amount" on crowded maps!), and you can expect some optimizations later. Fortunately, the new and old TFC are compatible, so no need to worry just yet if your system can't yet run the new version, or you prefer the old look. There's a bunch of mostly minor changes added as well, but will lead up to much larger ones in the future. How to Play: Opt-in to our public test version! Right click on TFC in your library (or select the Settings cog on the game page) Select Properties in the drop down menu Under the properties tab Betas Change Beta Participation drop down from None to publictest Make sure your new version is ready and updated: Go to prop…
- Workshop Map Spotlight - "TFC Mountain Division" by Trublemaker 12 - 10 June 2019
This map by Trublemaker 12, with deep mountain vistas and faraway skylines, highlights many in-the-works changes on the ol' Train Frontier rendering engine. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30772860%2F586637b5638307235b3c6e4ca775932204e80d7b.jpg On top of a lot of visual, usability, and art updates, we're currently working on some core game changes we've wanted to do since the TFE days. The game won't be playable until it's finished, which is why were holding onto other changes (like the gfx update) until it's done. Thanks for your patience!
